For Weiss, the weekend couldn't go by slow enough. She was afraid of what Pyrrha would say to her about their kiss that Weiss imposed on her from out of nowhere. It worried her so much, not knowing how the girl would react to it. Would Pyrrha try to ignore it, would she flip out on Weiss over what happened, would she be understanding of what Weiss did but ask that she try not to do that again, or would she like it so much that she wanted to form a relationship with her because of it? All those possibilities flooded through Weiss' mind and she didn't know what to think of it.
The drive over to school on Monday was frightening for Weiss, though she didn't show it. While she looked calm and collected, her mind was swarming with those thoughts that she had been thinking about all weekend. It was a matter of sheer unknown that scared her the most, knowing absolutely nothing about what was going to happen to her with Pyrrha. She hated feeling like that, thinking like she was, worrying over something that quite possibly could be nothing.
Unfortunately, she had to face it at some point, and unless she blatantly tried to avoid it, it was inevitable that Pyrrha would ask about it. Hell, even if she did try to avoid it, someone would find out one way or another and she would have to talk about it. As much as she wanted this problem to go away, she knew that it wasn't going to do so anytime soon.
When she was dropped off, she still knew that she wanted to go to the library and meet with her friends before class started. It wouldn't be fair to any of them if she let her dilemma with Pyrrha cause her to avoid the rest of them. They didn't deserve that kind of treatment when they would want to help her figure the problem out.
When she entered the library, she noticed that Pyrrha was there, as well as Yang, Neo, Sun, Ruby and Sage. Everyone else was due to arrive soon so she decided to take her seat, only this time, she sat on the other side of Ruby, where Jaune would usually sit, and joined from there. People noticed how different it was from normal, and so they brought it up to her.
"Um, Weiss, why are you sitting where Jaune normally sits?" Yang asked.
"I feel like trying something new today," Weiss said, though most people weren't buying it, including Weiss. 'What kind of defense is that? God, quit being stupid and think of something believable next time you dodo.'
Weiss wasn't looking over at Pyrrha, not even for a fraction of a second. She was avoiding eye contact with her immensely because she felt afraid of what she would say about the kiss. If she had looked over at her, she would easily see the pained expression that was on Pyrrha's face when she noticed that Weiss wasn't talking to her.
"Are you sure, because it looks like you're on edge right now," Sun said.
"Who says that I'm on edge right now? I'm not, I'm never on edge, because that would be pointless and a giant waste of time," Weiss said as she started to ramble on to Sun. Ruby looked over to Neo and Yang, who both just shrugged, not knowing how to comprehend Weiss' sudden change in mood and attitude. "And for the record, you shouldn't tell people that they appear to be on edge when they clearly are not on edge. You don't know what-"
Ruby stood up and grabbed a hold of Weiss' arm. "What the, Ruby what are you doing?" Weiss asked as she felt herself being stood up by Ruby.
"You, me private talk, right now," Ruby said, giving Weiss no choice in the matter. Ruby started to drag Weiss deep into the library where they could have a conversation in private.
However, it wasn't to be as private as they would have hoped. Pyrrha stood up after a moment and started to follow them. "I'm gonna go follow them," She said, a determination in her eyes. "Don't try to stop me."
After she was outta sight, Yang let out a sigh. "Man, what's with them?"
Over with Ruby and Weiss, after they had gone deep enough into the library for Ruby's liking, she finally stopped between some bookshelves so they could talk. "Ok Weiss, it's just you and me right now, so tell me what it is that's bothering you," Ruby said to her.
"Look, there's nothing wrong with me so just-" Weiss didn't get to finish what she was about to say, she felt Ruby grab a hold of her arms and shake her.
"Yes there is something wrong, or you wouldn't be acting like it's the end of the world," Ruby nearly shouted to Weiss. She managed to keep her voice low enough so that people coming by wouldn't overhear them. Unfortunately, Pyrrha had noticed they were talking and decided to sneak in on their conversation. As much as she absolutely hated the idea of doing so, if it got her answers as to why Weiss was acting the way she was, then she would take them.
"What do you want me to say? That I found some way to mess up with Pyrrha, without even realizing what I did till well after it happened?" Weiss said. She was starting to get mad at Ruby, and at herself, Pyrrha could tell when she heard the way Weiss sounded.
"Well, for starters, you could tell me what actually happened so that I can help you, it's the least you could do," Ruby said back to her, calm enough to hopefully bring the white haired girl down as well.
It managed to do the trick, as Weiss felt herself start to calm down and relax as best as she could. "Ok, look, you just need to understand that when this happened, I don't know how it did, and that I feel like everything just got screwed up because of it," Weiss said. With Ruby listening intently, Weiss began to recall the events that had transpired the night she kissed Pyrrha.
"After we had all left from Uncle Joe's, Pyrrha drove me home. We had a very lovely conversation about things on the way back. I actually told her that I was bi during that time, but that wasn't what caused this," Weiss started off with. "I had a very lovely conversation with her, one that I didn't want to end, but of course, when we arrived at my house that night, I pulled the stupidest stunt that I have ever done in my entire life." Ruby waited anxiously for Weiss to tell her about what she did.
"I kissed her," Weiss said.
When Ruby heard, she stumbled back a bit and into the bookcase, leaning on it to support herself. "Holy nuggets, that's insane," Ruby said. Suddenly a thought popped through her head. "But wait, isn't that a good thing for you? I mean, you do have a thing for her after all."
"No it's not!" Weiss shouted. "How could it be a good thing I surprised her with this, then turn around and act like nothing happened? I've been freaking out about this all weekend because I was afraid that it just messed up my chances of actually telling her how I feel, and destroying our friendship in the process."
"You know Pyrrha wouldn't let your friendship get messed up over this, you know that," Ruby said to Weiss.
"Ruby, I was hoping that I could tell her about how I feel in a way I felt ready to do so in, not being forced into it because of my dumb mistake," Weiss said. "I was hoping that the first time I actually did end up kissing her would be better than what actually happened." Tears started to for in Weiss' eyes. "I just fucked it all up Ruby, and I can't back what happened and hope nothing goes wrong."
In Pyrrha's mind, hearing all of that unlocked so many emotions for her. During her weekend, she had to think about what had happened and she had only one conclusion to that moment. She knew that Weiss wanted her. It actually brought joy to Pyrrha's heart when she thought of that, because she realized that deep down, she wanted it just as much as Weiss did. Now that she heard it for herself, she knew that everything was about to fall into place.
Taking a step out, she finally let her presence become known to the girl who she wanted to be with more than anything at that moment in time. "What if I didn't want you to take it back?"
Hearing that voice speak to her like that startled Weiss. Her eyes went wide and she thought about running, but her legs were frozen solid, paralyzed by the mix of emotions that circulated through her body. Ruby let go of Weiss so that Pyrrha could take her place. Pyrrha looked to Ruby, silently asking her to give the two of the some privacy for a few minutes.
Pyrrha pulled Weiss out so that she could look into her eyes. "Pyrrha, look I'm sorry about what happened the other night, I shouldn't have done that and I don't know what I was thinking and I was too exhausted to stop myself from doing that and you don't deserve what I forced upon you at that moment and I just wanted to-" Weiss felt herself being cut off by the touch of Pyrrha's lips against her own. It shocked her for a moment, feeling Pyrrha's lips against hers yet again, but even after a few moments, her mind went blank and she ended up kissing Pyrrha back. She wrapped her arms around Pyrrha's neck and felt Pyrrha wrap her own around Weiss back.
The only reason they stopped kissing in the first place is that they needed to breath. Weiss' face was extremely red from all that had happened, while Pyrrha had a nice tint of red herself. "Weiss, would you believe me if I said that I wanted to kiss you for a while now?"
When she heard that, Weiss couldn't believe what she had just heard. Pyrrha, the girl she had a crush on for a few weeks now, felt the same way about her. It was almost unbelievable to her, even though she literally just herd it moments ago. "S-so when I..." Weiss didn't finish her sentence. She couldn't with the amount of tears that were rolling down her face. The emotions in her were running at an all time high, higher than when she was worried what her father thought of her being bi. Her mouth couldn't coordinate enough to put the words together that ran through her mind.
"Yeah, when you kissed me the other day, I wanted it," Pyrrha said. "Granted when it happened I was a bit surprised by it and had to think things over, but I realized that I did want it, and I want you." Weiss was completely speechless at what was going on, so Pyrrha went ahead and spoke for her. "Weiss Schnee, would you, go out with me?" She asked, feeling the nerves shake through her entire body.
While she didn't give a verbal answer, Weiss' actions were enough to tell Pyrrha that she wanted to be with her, and that her answer to Pyrrha's question was yes. She slowly nodded her head, and then wrapped her arms around Pyrrha and held her tightly, crying right into Pyrrha's shoulder. Eventually even Weiss found the words that she wanted to say. "Yes, yes, yes of course I will," She said, though it was muffled by her sobs and Pyrrha's shoulder.
Pyrrha stood there for a few moments, just holding Weiss in her arms. It had taken them time, but they had finally figured out what they needed to say to the other in order to make their bond that much more unique and strengthened than before. A tear broke through Pyrrha's eyes as she realized what had just happened, and she felt fortunate to have Weiss in her life the way that she did.
They both wanted the moment to last forever, to never break their embrace for fear that they wouldn't get a chance like this to hold each other they way they did now. They held on tight to each other, taking as much time as they could to do so. But even then, they had to break apart and return to reality. They had classes to go to, they had their friends who were waiting for them, they had their lives to go on with. At least now, they both had each other to be there for them as a large part of their life now.
"As much as I would love to stand here and hug you for the rest of the day, everyone's probably worried about where we got off to," Pyrrha said. "Maybe we should get back to them."
Weiss nodded. "Oh, yeah we probably should," She said back. Weiss led the way through the library to where everyone else waited, her hand holding onto Pyrrha's the entire time they walked through. Right before they reached where everyone was, Weiss stopped and turned to face Pyrrha. "What do we tell them? One of the reasons that I was worried about this was because of what they would say about it."
"I think we should tell them, one because of Yang and Neo, and two because if they didn't like it then they wouldn't be my friends anyway," Pyrrha said. "Does that help you make up your mind?"
Weiss took a moment to think about it, before she nodded. "Of course," She said. "Let's do this before I end up backing out for whatever reason." She steeled herself, took a deep breath, grasped a hold of Pyrrha's hand and firmly held onto it as they walked around the corner.
When they turned the corner and faced everyone, people were chatting with one another, until Neo noticed that Weiss and Pyrrha had returned. Smacking the side of Yang she made the blonde look over to where she was looking so that eventually everyone would notice that Weiss and Pyrrha were back, and that they were holding hands.
"Woo hoo, way to go Pyrrha!" Yang shouted to the newly formed couple.
"Well hot damn, didn't expect that. Congrats you two," Sage said after her.
"Ren, I told you it would happen," Nora mentioned.
"See Weiss, the gang is the last group of people I would expect to give us crap over dating," Pyrrha said as she led Weiss back to their seats.
"I guess you're right, but you understand just how nervous I was about this, right?" Weiss asked.
Pyrrha smiled and rubbed her hand along Weiss' back. "Of course, you did have full right to be concerned over something this big you know that," She said to Weiss. Weiss in turned just rested her head on Pyrrha's shoulders and closed her eyes. Not soon after she did that though, the bell to begin the day rang. Pyrrha lightly smacked her face with her hand. "Of course that would happen."
"Well, we got all the time in the world ahead of us," Weiss said. "I"m not too worried about school cutting in right now."
Standing up, Weiss and Pyrrha, along with everyone else walked over to their classes, everyone bidding each other goodbye as they parted. Weiss and Pyrrha looked at each other before they left, a renewed feeling pulsing through them that gave them a new purpose. After they parted, they seemed to be more excited then ever to enjoy the moments where they could be together while they could.
